I think there should be a balance. Before women did not have rights. And no it isn't just a responsibility, it is a right. Women weren't allowed to vote, they were not allowed to do a lot of things. They were oppressed in the sense that they were (maybe not all) told what to do and how to behave. They had less choice in what to do, in what they -wanted- to do.

Women had no say, they didn't have much of a choice.

If they did have these things (rights/choices) and were treated like equals, but women were to stay home and take care of the children (etc etc.) and the men were to go to work to take care of the family, then I think there would be a balance.

The family structure would stay intact and women would have a right to speak their minds, to vote, to do all sorts of things. And also work if they would want to (part time for example).

Believe it or not some people want to work. I don't want to stay home the whole day every day.

I want to do something for myself. I want an education, I want to learn things. Can I explain it to you? No. It's always been a part of me. I've been a nerd since I was a child. Whereas my siblings were the complete opposite.

Maybe another solution would be for women to be able to work and study from their home (depending on the job of course) and maybe 1-2 a week actually having to go to work (i.e. if you're a lawyer and would have to go to court).

Maybe you should see these 'rights' not just as responsibilities, but also as choices. That you have these options before you and not just be limited and unable to do the certain things.

Also why would I want a man to go and vote for me? I am my own person. I have my own thoughts, my own feelings and all of that is very personal. I want to be able to do that, to have the choice to speak my mind, to vote for the candidate I feel/believe is the most suited in regards to my own personal views and so on.

Regarding wars...there have always been things/tasks that are more 'male' or more 'female'. Certain jobs are more suited for men and certain jobs seem to be more suited for women, if that makes any sense. It's more a 'man' thing to go fight wars and protect their country/family.

But like I said I think it's all about a certain balance and I don't consider it healthy to limit women in their choices/rights/responsibilities we should be able to choose for ourselves.
